Put that down, fatty!

My lovelies! Oh, how I have neglected you! :grouphug: I'm back now! As Derrick said, life has been busy and I've just not had the time.

Updates for me!

1. We've had house-guests on and off for the last 3 weeks. It's meant lots of late nights and lots of cleaning and lots of feeling like I have to "entertain". I hate having guests. I like a quiet life at home!

2. Work is insane. Summer holidays have hit and I'm working between 60-70 hours a week, including two nights a week which has fucked with my sleeping something awful.

3. Work is also incredibly stressful. I've found out I'm not an emotional eater though--I just get very lethargic and don't want to do anything but sleep when I'm sad, but have not been reaching for food!

4. I've managed to avoid putting on any weight and have actually lost 3lb in the last 10 days. Working so much means I have no time to snack and am usually just grabbing some fruit from the house in the morning as can't take big meals with me!!

Luckily my friends leave tomorrow, so I get blissful peace! Me and Yank have decided (when I get paid tomorrow) that we are doing a week of only fresh foods. Fresh pasta, make my own sauce, fresh veg, fruit, meat and ingredients. Nothing I make will be in a tin or frozen! The good thing about working so much is that I have quite a bit of money (for me, anyway!) at the moment so although buying fresh is more expensive, I'm hoping it'll be a fun way to learn to cook new meals and something me and Yank can do together.

Will let you guys know what recipes I come up with! Also--NO CHEESE FOR A WEEK!

My new favourite dish has been half a cup of pasta with chicken stock/gravy. It sounds VILE but the pasta isn't many calories and the stock is barely any and I don't add any salt. Much better than using red sauce and half a ton of cheese! Delllllicious!

I've not made it to the gym in over a month. I'm working approx 10-13 hours a day and simply don't have the time. Excuses, excuses. But, my work does mean that I'm walking between 3-8 miles a day depending on my shift. I feel pretty healthy! :hurray:

No other news yet--Will post when I get a chance!! Hope everyone is okay!

Wow, you've been a busy girl! LOL! Well I'm glad to hear it's just a busy schedule that has kept you away. Welcome back! :)
 
Ouch, those hours sound horrendous!! Worst I've done was 50 and that nearly killed me!
At least you've got money to show for it though :)
Good going on the 3lbs, much better than emotional eating to say the least!
I'm an old face on a new account btw, I'd pm you and explain except I still don't have pm privileges yet!!!
 
I hope all this gruelling labour is going to be worth it. Is it by choice you are killing yourself? if it were me, i would have been taken out on a stretcher weeks ago. I can't work that hard any more. Although, my cycling journey had me on the go from the beginning of the day to the very end and then i'd crash for at least 10 hours sleep for quite a number of days at a stretch. But that's differnt isn't it.

Anyway it will be good when you can get back here with us and tell us more about the fresh foods you are cooking and stuff.

Take care.
 
Hey my beauties, nice to see the faces I know and love still posting! Was worried I'd come back and you'd all have left! Had a day or so off (night shift tonight) so have been busy tidying the flat and sorting out recipes for the week!

My shop arrives tomorrow and it is ALL fresh. Spent £50 which is a lot for me and Yank (usually living on £1 pizzas and jacket potatoes!!) but I've brought things like mushrooms, fresh chicken and chicken stock, fresh herbs and pasta. I'm making a chicken and mushroom risotto for me and 3 others tomorrow night so will be making a healthy version with less butter and chicken and more veggies! :hurray:

Exercise wise, it's been slow. Me and Conor went to a tiger sanctuary on friday so were walking around for about 4 hours which would have done me some good! Am very excited to be having a week of fresh recipes. Would welcome chicken/mince recipes to have with fresh pasta or rice and veg if anyone has a simple one for me!!

Will update soon! xx
 
We make a spicy chicken thingy..
Basically consists of chicken cooked with some chilli powder, onions, and diced peppers, then mixed up with wholemeal rice.
Obviously you can add more veggies to it, pretty much any, mushrooms would probably work well. You can also subsitute chilli powder for any flavouring, been know to use bbq before now lol.
 
Thanks honey.

So I'm bored on my night shift! Thought I'd share one of my drunken stories that happened at the weekend since Rox isnt around to post any of her sexy ones for me! Me and Yank went to drink in this gay pub down the street from us and had a bit too much to drink and started talking about the idea of involving someone (or some others) in our relationship, if you catch my drift. :p So we're looking on my phone for ads that have been posted and such and thinking about going onto the community where we met to place an ad ourselves when this Irish lady approaches us and asks us back to her place so "he can do me and I can do you".

:leaving: :leaving: :leaving: :leaving: :leaving:

There is no way she could have heard us talking as we were whispering and she was sat way across the garden with a friend! she said she got a "vibe" from us. Nice to know we're rocking the slutty vibe all across the garden! So, as I was pretty drunk I thought it would be a great idea but Yank (being more reasonable than I) thought it was best to wait and actually think about it and find someone more our age before we did anything. She was 39 but me and C are only 21 and 28 so we thought we might be a little out of our depth.

How crazy though! Shit like this very rarely happens to me and it was such a coincidence that me and Yank were discussing it a while before she came over. Maybe she just had good hearing! So needless to say we both ran away and can never be seen in that bar, ever again. Sad times.

Anyway, food for night shift is crisps and haribo. I am a picture of health.
 
Haha that's a pretty awesome story :p

Loving the idea of slutty vibes! Great mental image there lol, sort of you and Yank pouting and wiggling with little ripples flowing across the garden :p

I'd say you can be seen in the bar again, although I'm gunna assume straight couple in a gay bar will always get that reaction!!
 
Omg, they must bug the place haha.

I love reading about peoples sexy exploits, glad you are holding Rox's torch for her while she's gone :)

Think you were right not to go with the first person who came along. I think the gae gap could be awkward. I know you and yank met on a BDSM (is that right?!) website so you are both open minded and up for fun, but, you need to make sure its what you both want. Maybe you can go for a night out together somewhere, and both flirt with other people, and snog them at the first oppertunity. If you see him snogging and groping someone else and don't mind one little bit, and vice versa, then maybe you could move on to the next step... Just want you to make sure that doing this won't destroy your relationship.

And no more crisps and haribos missus :) Have eat natural bars and fruit or something instead. x
 
Yeah, we met on a BDSM site so no strangers to the weird and wonderful world of kink! I've had sex with a friend of mine in front of Yank and he liked it but she was female, he says he might not like it with a male which is why we'd like a threesome with a girl (we want to find a sub for us to play with!) or another couple like us that both swing both ways! We'll take our time and hunt for the right couple--And you're right, would def need to go for a drink or a meal first to decide for sure if we liked them!!

I'm tryyying to put down the mini-chedders. Bring fresh stuff is hard though as it's all manky and warm by about 3 in the morning (when I get hungry). Excuses, excuses. I keep my calories low during the day though so I have around 900-1000 left over for night time noms (I sleep through breakfast and lunch tomorrow as well so damage is limited!!)
 
Well I had no idea it was a BDSM site you met on!!
You kinky bugger lol :p

Can you take a trail mix sort of thing for nights? Like nuts and dried fruit stuff, apparently it's good for the slump between 3-5am.
I have night shifts from Nov so planning in advance!!
 
It's all so boring though :( I need sugar and carbs to keep me awake. Stupid, horrible fruit. *cries* I've crisps though, just had a string cheese and diet coke! My night shifts only involve doing like 2 things so the rest of the time I just sit on my computer which leads to massssive boredom eating. Doooooom! DOOOOOOM!
 
Ermm... vegetable crisps? Although they can be really high in sodium.
Sugarfree jelly?
Dark chocolate
Yoghurt coated cranberries/nuts

I'm trying to think of the healthier versions of bad things lol
 
I second the loving hearing about those kinds of things. If it were me I would've found it a big self-esteem boost- I hope you enjoyed it even though it didn't go anywhere. (and I love that you have the confidence to share your kinks semi-publically, even if semi-anonymously- I sure as hell don't!)

I try to help my boyfriend through night shifts, and what I usually do is pack him a dinner (or two, his is a 12 hour shift) which is calorie controlled (either with a frozen microwaveable rice portion- can get them from Tesco- or for him to buy rice/ jacket potato from the work canteen), several serves of fruit, some Pepsi (I can't get him to go diet/ Max, but I would if I could), caffeine tablets, and some sort of dessert (calorie and/ or portion controlled- a weight watchers dessert, a low calorie cheat, or a very small bit of chocolate).

Do you have access to a microwave where you could make one of my fruit desserts (and possibly also a fridge- put low fat yoghurt on top or something)? I know it's not a "proper" dessert, but it's a lot more interesting than just fruit, as the microwaving makes the flavours more intense. You could chop up the fruit in advance and take it in a freezer bag/ tupperware container, or buy it pre-chopped (from frozen or fresh).

I also find that really strong menthol mint gum helps to keep me awake when I'm pulling all-nighters (not the same, but a related phenomenon). That's pretty good calorie wise.
 
Thanks for the suggestions my lovelies--I don't have a fridge or a microwave (seriously, I have a chair. That's it. We even have to pay for access to the electricity now! Madness) Vegetable crisps are a good idea. I like salty stuff. I started off taking the caffeine pills but I crash pretty hard on those or have trouble sleeping when I get home so now I just have 2 litres of diet coke and that gets me through the night!

Sometimes I take cold pasta dishes but I prefer to have lots of little snacks rather than a "dinner" sized meal if that makes sense. I don't think it makes too much difference to my calories to be honest. I have lunch, skip dinner and eat through-out the night and then skip breakfast and lunch the next day whilst I sleep so the meals I miss allow me to eat quite a few calories on a night shift! I'll look into packing fresh fruits and stuff, it's just not as nice luke-warm!
As for the kink, I've never been very shy about it. We use a pen pal website story for parents and family but we're very proud of how open we are and it's led to quite a lot of fun we wouldn't have had otherwise!! Next step is to find us a little play partner or two and then see where that takes us. Life is too short to have vanilla sex!! :p I'm sure I'll mellow out in my old age (bondage wont be so hot when my boobs are at my knees!!) so may as well enjoy it whilst I can!!

Only 4 hours to go until I can go home. And have a cigarette. Would kill a baby monkey for a smoke.
 
That really sucks. I think the microwave would be the really critical thing, and from my very brief googling, the complicated one (the fridge is easy- get a cooler. I'd suggest an Esky but Google tells me that's an Australian brand. Very brief Argosing gets me this: ). I find drinking stuff not at room temperature keeps me awake. (The microwave- all I can find are propane heaters for camping, and I can understand why you wouldn't want to go there) I suppose a thermos would keep soup or something warm, which might or might not help depending on how you react to warm food or how tired you are.

I really envy you being so open about it. I'm sort of only just getting to the point where most of the people around me accept/ assume that my relationship is sexual and don't think that I'm a horrible evil adulteress who's bound for hell or something :reddevil: :rolleyes: . This is the first time I've ever admitted it, apart from to my boyfriend or completely anonymously, but I'm into BDSM as well, and I'd love to get more into it and am trying to figure out how (my boyfriend is into it as well, and I swear I only dared to tell him because he mentioned it first. We were texting each other and I said something he found provocative, he threatened to spank me in response, and I said "does that mean... you're into... that sort of stuff?" or something to that effect, and he was interested in it, and that was my entry into that sort of world in real life. Although only between us, making it up as we go along, because we don't know how else to go about it- and the social stuff in my area seems... quite risky/ seedy. The areas they're held in don't help, and my boyfriend works in a job where that kind of thing could look really bad, even though it's between consenting adults and doesn't involve his work at all) ... anyway I should probably stop talking about that... :leaving:
 
We don't go to munches as we find it a little seedy and full of people who just like the dressing up and/or group sex whereas we'd prefer to meet people in smaller groups for food and drink and more casual conversation before seeing 60 year old women getting tea-bagged!

BDSM is awesome and I think 95% of people are into it to some degree, whether it's a light spanking or hair pulling right down to full on "scenes". I would recommend sites like bdsmlibrary to get hints and ideas and stuff but it's quite full-on. They do have a good "newbie" section though and a chat room as well. It sounds silly but when me and Yank met and decided to get sexual we both filled in this checklist of sorts, basically going through the various BDSMy type things and marking them in terms of how interested we were in doing them! It's been fun working through the list and makes it a bit more light hearted :p You can just google BDSM checklist or find one here:

Although I think you're way of making it up as you go along sounds great. Sounds more relaxed than the militant way me and Yank work our way through everything we want to try :p Once you know whether you're subby, dom or switch it's usually pretty self-explanatory stuff you'll do anyway! I understand about the boys work thing as well, I don't think clubs or anything is something you should look into until you're more comfortable as it could be quite an awkward!
 
OMG, i'm sooo boring. I'm not in the slightest bit intersted in any sort of kinkiness except reading about you lot and situations like that. I am more a voyeur i guess. But i do not like listening to people have sex and I couldn't be bothered with watching either. I think i've got a certain age where I no longer care. Well i might care more if i had a partner but its healthy for me not to feel bothered these days since i am alone.

But yeah, i'm boring, you lot are hot hot hot aren't yas. :D I wonder if the mods realise their diet forum is turning into a sex playground ha hah ha
 
Wow, Yank is so lucky having you ;) I had a threesome with a girl once. We were only doing it to turn him on tho. It worked :) Seems like a lifetime ago now, was over 9 years ago. Fuck, when did I get so old lol.

Think I'm going to have little nose about that website.
